One of the project’s responsibles, Youtuber PhoenixBR, confirmed that the Flow Games channel was actually hacked. According to the creator, YouTube is already aware of what happened as the team contacted the company.

“We are already taking all measures to resolve it as soon as possible. Anyone who can help can contact me. This has been a blow and it’s very scary but we know recovery is possible, I hope it happens soon.” As much as possible,” explained PhoenixBR.

Meanwhile, the tip is for channel fans to avoid clicking on questionable links placed in Flow Games video descriptions. There’s still no estimate on when the channel will return to normal operation, but since YouTube has already been notified of the situation, the company has a tendency to help save the channel.

In addition to PhoenixBR, the Flow Games project includes journalist Bruno Micali, who works as editors at Voxel, and Davy Jones of GameplayRJ. Last year, the youtuber also invaded his channel by hackers to spread scams.
